Ford Focus’ New Electric Car


Ford focus has introduced their new electric version of this popular car. They say it will launch in late 2011. Total range hasn’t been disclosed yet, but an estimate of 100 mile range is suggested.
There are two charging options: 120v standard charging will take up to 20 hours for a full charge. 240v optional charging station will do a complete charge in 3-4 hours, and will be sold and installed by ‘Best Buy’ at an estimated cost of $1,499.
They are using a 23 kwh lithium-ion battery.
A lack of public charging stations is a concern for some. Others say it may force larger cities to make more charging stations available.
Top speed is expected to be about 84 mph (136 kph).
Ford and Microsoft have partnered to bring electric drivers a smart phone app called “My Ford Mobile,” which helps owners plug in remotely, advise drivers when utility rates are lowest and search MapQuest for charging stations.

You know david, I actually blogged about this subject earlier today on my own website. Your article has given me some food for thought and I think that you make some very important points. In fact, I wish I had found it earlier, prior to writing my own post.

Many thanks for your time and efforts to have had these things together on this blog. John and i also very much appreciated your ideas through the articles on certain things. I recognize that you have several demands in your program so the fact that an individual like you took equally as much time like you did to steer people like us by way of this article is definitely highly valued.

Thanks for the distinct tips provided on this blog site. I have seen that many insurance companies offer buyers generous discount rates if they favor to insure multiple cars with them. A significant number of households include several vehicles these days, particularly those with mature teenage kids still located at home, and also the savings in policies can easily soon increase. So it is a good idea to look for a great deal.

Today, taking into consideration the fast life-style that everyone leads, credit cards have a big demand throughout the market. Persons out of every area of life are using the credit card and people who are not using the credit cards have made arrangements to apply for just one. Thanks for expressing your ideas on credit cards.

Hello! I realize this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask. Does operating a well-established blog such as yours require a lot of work? I’m brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

Way to go Ford! In todays culture, people won’t stand by for the 20 hour charging port , 120 v . A must to have the 240 v. charging port in 3-4 hours ; should mesh w/ our daily schedules .

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Many thanks

I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
